Sucrose influences the phenotype of fas2-1 mutants. Wild-type Ler and fas2-1 mutant seedlings were grown on medium supplied with 1% sorbitol or with 1% sucrose. A: Ler grown on sorbitol. B: Ler grown on sucrose. C: fas2-1 grown on sorbitol. D: fas2-1 grown on sucrose. Note the severely distorted phyllotaxis. E: fas2-1 grown on sucrose exhibiting internode elongation. F and G: Flowers of fas2-1 plants grown for 2.5 weeks on sucrose and later on soil. H: Flowers of a Ler plant grown for 2.5 weeks on sucrose and later on soil. Scale bars: 0.5 mm.
